Key features
Industry-leading Microsoft® Lync branch survivability solutions
Rich set of UC features
Microsoft Unified Communication Open Interoperability Program certified gateways
Compact form factors provide branch router solution using HP MSR30 and MSR50 Series Routers
Product overview
The HP MSR Survivable Branch Communication Module (SBM) powered by Microsoft Lync Server enables real-time communications,
even when the WAN is unavailable, enabling you to remain productive, make calls, and sustain communications locally in your branch
office. The HP MSR SBM combines a Microsoft Lync Survivable Branch Appliance with HP software to deliver a rich set of unified
communications (UC) features such as instant messaging, voice, video, and desktop sharing. The HP MSR SBM provides toll bypass and
least-cost routing over a public switched telephone network (PSTN) to reduce costs and improve user productivity.
Microsoft Lync Survivable Branch Appliance software is pre-installed in the HP MSR SBM to simplify deployments. The modules are
used with HP MSR30 and MSR50 Series Routers and Microsoft Unified Communication Open Interoperability Program certified
gateways. Dial plan and endpoint configurations are automatically downloaded from Microsoft Lync and Active Directory servers in the
data center.
The modules offer a single and multicore, multi-threaded processing architecture that combines storage, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB
interfaces, which reduces your network's physical footprint, power consumption, cabling, and management, thereby lowering the
network's cost and complexity.
Features and benefits
AllianceOne integration
Powered by Microsoft Lync Survivable Branch Appliance
the HP MSR SBM integrates Microsoft Lync Survivable Branch Appliance software and is domain joined to the Microsoft
environment; the solution provides users within the branch with the ability to communicate and collaborate in the event that the
data center communications servers cannot be reached; all peer-to-peer services within the branch remain operational,
including instant messaging, video, desktop sharing, and voice
Branch office consolidation
Total solution in one device
by utilizing the MSR30 and MSR50 series routers, customers can obtain voice survivability, routing, switching, WAN access,
wireless LAN, PoE, 3G, security, and virtualization services from one device
Low TCO
No additional Microsoft Lync Survivable Branch Appliance license needed

QuickSpecs
HP MSR Survivable Branch Communication Module Series
Overview
the HP MSR SBM comes preloaded with fully licensed Microsoft Lync Survivable Branch Appliance
Flexible router implementation
various models of HP MSR30 and MSR50 Series Router chassis support HP MSR SBM
Low operating costs
these modules are part of a converged branch-in-a-box solution that enables enterprises and SMB organizations to lower costs
and complexity with a single converged all-in-one solution that is easy to manage and deploy
Application highlights
Survivable solution
during loss of intra-branch connectivity to the data center, IM, video, desktop sharing, and voice calls are directly routed over the
LAN; inter-branch/intra-company calls and intercompany voice calls are automatically routed over the PSTN; during WAN
outages; voicemails are hair pinned to the auto attendant on the data center's Exchange UM server; when the SBM is offline,
endpoint clients automatically register to the main Lync server in the data center
Microsoft Unified Communication Open Interoperability Program certified media gateway support
the HP MSR30 and MSR50 Series Routers allow additional Microsoft Unified Communication Open Interoperability Program
certified media gateway modules that can be installed in the MIM, FIC, or SIC slots in many popular combinations.
Support for toll bypass and least-cost routing
during normal operation, HP MSR SBM supports toll bypass and least-cost call routing; every PSTN gateway in the enterprise is
available for placing outbound calls along the least-expensive path
Product architecture
Separated interface
supports two network ports on the module (one internal and one external); one GbE wire-speed port connects internally to the
router backplane; one RJ-45 port on the front panel of the HP MSR SBM connects to the module only and can be manually
connected to a router port for network connectivity; unified CLI can be used to manage the HP MSR SBM for gateway
configuration
Connectivity
Supports integrated media gateways
the MSR series routers scale based on user demand and support up to 240 concurrent PSTN calls
IP Telephony interface
supports SIP voice communications and FXS and FXO 1:1 binding for all ports; supports analog signaling such as Loop Ground
Start (LGS) used by FXS and FXO as well as E&M; digital signaling is provided for ISDN PRI, Digital LGS, Digital E&M and R2/China
No.1; supports T.38 (Fax over IP), Q-Sig, and CAS-R2; the MSR series routers support FXO, FXS, T1, E1, and BRI in various
densities
Gigabit Ethernet interface
provides a low-latency network connection for out-of-band management functionality and can be manually connected to a
router or switch Ethernet port
Multiple LAN, WAN, and wireless interface
the MSR series routers provide a traditional link with E3, T3, E1, T1, ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, G.SHDSL, OC-3, POS, ATM, and
ISDN/AM backup; deliver high-density Ethernet access with WAN Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet, LAN Fast Ethernet, and PoE;
offer mobility access with IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and 3G
Voice CODEC support
Coding/Decoding on the PSTN side
the MSR series routers support PCMA (64 Kbps lossless format) and PCMU (64 Kbps lossless format)
Coding/Decoding on the IP side
the MSR series routers support G.711A and G.711ì (64 Kbps as the PCMA/PCMU), G.729r8 and G.729A (8 Kbps), G.723r53 and
G.723r63 (5.3 Kbps/6.3 Kbps), G.726r16, G.726r24, G.726r32, and G.726r40 (16/24/32/40 Kbps)
